    Burt Kwok takes his character to another level!

    Burt's family lost their fortune when CCP drove them out of China to England, then Burt went to US. His portrayal of Colonel Wing in this episode is camped up as in his James Bond portrayals of pretty much the same expected character. In Pink Panther movies he ups the ante to Sellers' level of pure genius! His fervent exclamatory monologue delivered to Roger Moore in this episode of the smarmy Saint, is fantastic shout out to what was then known as The West. Stunning power of his very knowing portrayals of what were merely racial prototypes meant for Burlesque stage. Ultimate portrayal of his epic talent & profound genius. God Bless this great man, OBE seldom deserved. Burt deserved every withheld Hollywood honor as well....

      When Tania opens the letter it starts to 'burn' from the center outwards. Simon snatches it from her and runs to the french doors, but it is now burning from the top corner in, the center still fine.
    • Quotes

      Simon Templar: Kittens should really be very flattered. These clubs have boosted their image enormously. They provide a home away from home, where young men can... study form. And where older men can respectably let down what is left of their hair. Even starchy old fire-eaters like William Fenton of British Intelligence.
